Coastal Reforestation - Mozambique

Our team is planting thousands of mangrove trees to protect coastlines, support local communities, and nurture biodiversity in Mozambique. 🌎 Mangroves stabilize surrounding soil and reduce possible erosion, acting as natural barriers against storm surges. They support biodiversity by creating habitats for marine and terrestrial species and even retain carbon to mitigate climate change. Mangroves filter pollutants, improve water quality, and ultimately help support local communities. Join us in supporting this important work for a healthier, more resilient planet.

From the field! These might just seem like lumps of logs, however, these are actually mangrove pole rafts that were constructed by mangrove poachers. They will cut down the trees, construct rafts out of them, and rely on the tide to float them down the river so they don't get caught with them. You can fight deforestation with reforestation today!

Nearly 4 million hectares of forest in Mozambique were destroyed in a 20-year period. By planting and protecting land in the Maputo Province of Mozambique, our team is working to reverse the effects of climate change while being empowered with sustainable livelihood options.

Ever wondered how mangroves are planted? We collect ripe propagules from mature trees, sort them by species and transfer to the project sites. The propagules are placed directly into the mud based on the tidal zones to ensure a healthy, diverse forest.

By collecting and planting mangroves our teams in Mozambique help protect coastal communities from natural disasters, improve ocean health, and build the local economy by facilitating community development. We are working directly with over 900 community members to restore over 13,800 hectares of land in Mozambique.

By planting mangroves, our teams in Mozambique are helping mitigate the effects of climate change. As propagules grow to become healthy mangrove forests, they help stabilize the shoreline to protect local communities from storms and create a habitat for local wildlife populations.

Amélia Chilengue is a planter at the Chilhale site in Mozambique. Her day begins at 7:00 AM with carefully planting propagules one meter apart in the thick mud of a mangrove planting site. When she completes her planting for the day, she collects more propagules from mature mangroves, sorts them by species, and prepares for the next round of planting.
